Abstract: Abstract In the exploratory study presented in this chapter, we aim at discovering the role of employees in relation to a firm’s innovation capability management process. We use quantitative data gathered mainly through email survey from 163 German and 173 Chinese firms operating in both manufacturing and service sectors. All sampled firms have been examined based on five key dimensions of innovation capability management: strategy, innovative organization, external linkages, processes, and learning organization.
